hello all
i have seen some post about spines for brutes spines does not
really fit the brute class . so i was thinking what about spikes the kind that
are on maces spikes can be a new primary . and for a secondary power something
like a metal skin you become a human mace . you smash things with your bare hands
and the matal skin secondary can be a mix of res and def and passive and toggles
so what do you all think good idea and a side note use the animations from energy
melee since it has a smashing feel and look to it except for energy transpher

Words to the wise aren't necessary- it's the stupid ones that need them.

Power customization lets you get metal spikes all over your body for the Spines set. You look like a pin cushion, or one of those spiky morning stars that you appear to want.

When and if Brutes get Spines, the set will probably be altered a bit.

To suck less?

God I hate spines. The only thing vaugely interesting about it in conjunction with brutes is the possibility of feeding two damage auras with Fury. Even then I'm not sure two auras running would outdamage a single 300% footstomp in said footstomps recharge time even just running hasten.

I do like the new metal spines, though, on my spines/sr (I have an alt of every melee primary). Much better than the death bananas.

Why not "Punk Rock Colossus"?

A Spines/Fire with a taunt aura would be nice to have.

That's exactly why I want Spines for Brutes.

Or some kind of body morphing powerset. You could turn your arms into a big warmace for one attack (smashing) a sword for another (lethal) and maybe stab out with a bunch of spikes for an AOE. Kinda like the T1000 on T2. Hehe even stretch your arm out and punch someone in the face up to 40 feet away.
